Once all of the screws mentioned are off, you will have to press down on
the plate to get it to unseat from from stainless stove panel. It can be a
bit tough as its prolly pretty snug

If I remember it was the 3 screws on the bottom of the panel and one on
each end of the panel under the plastic screw caps. I took off my stove
knobs and indicator light panel and pushed down on the plate to remove it.
I had mine powdercoated along with a bunch of other stuff... Best of luck!
